Answer 1

Answer:

space.

(a) At that moment, his words sounded

to me.

(b) It was either a

or an excellent copy.

(c) Her

powers give life and colour to her paintings.

(d) A little

air might clear some of the cobwebs.

Answer 2

Option a is the answer:

At that moment, his words sounded trite to me

• Here the speaker is saying that his words sounded trite which is the most fitting sentence for it.
• The word trite is a means to refer to something that is seen as a click or dull or something overused and thus saying his words sounded trite makes sense.
• The other options however do not do the same justice to the word. Saying it was a trite or an excellent copy or referring to a powerful painting as trite would not be appropriate neither does a little trite air as it does not fit the sentence.
• Therefore option a is the correct answer.
